Default Re: FLUKE.

Did somebody say Flounder? ;) A summer flounder is also known as a Fluke, winters offshore and migrates inshore during the season. These fish tend to migrate straight inshore / offshore, and maybe slightly north as they grow.

Winter flounder are a differnt sub-species, are opposite eyed, and don't grow nearly as large as summer flounder. Winter flounder range as far south as VA (barely) but are most common from NJ north.

Southern Flounder are found from NC and south. They are found in the shallow coastal bays in the Carolina's and south. The Carolina's see some summer founder, but generally outside the surf line and not in the coastal bays. Southern Flounder are also found in the land of Stinky-Hooker.

That's my knowledge of flounder / fluke / winter and southern flounder. I don't know much of the yellowtail flounder, but will make it a point to learn.
